Document Summary
Imagine that you are an adp molecule inside a bacterial cell: how would you manage to find an atp synthase so that you could become an atp molecule. Our minds tend to explain patterns by direct causal schemata : one thing happens after another. Step by step : these schema don"t apply everywhere. However, some patterns requires us to develop emergent causal schemata : behaviour of flock (birds), is emerges. Diffusion is emergent rather than causal : there is a dance floor with two rooms with a connection to both, people are dancing (acting random) If we put red hats on the left hand side: the red hats will be distributed throughout the room, the proportion of the red hatted people in the centre will fluctuate at random, goes up and down. No direct causal to make them to move. The behaviour of the system emerges from the.
